Last week I finished my application to become a PGC leader; the last stage of the application was a retreat were the application was taken to a whole more personal level were we where tested on our abilities. A PGC leader is someone who is capable of setting an example of a role model student to the upcoming freshmen; the role of a PGC leader is to approach the freshmen in a friendly manner, and help them ease their transition to high school. During the retreat, the former PGC leaders spoke to us about what it takes to become a PGC leader. I never thought it would be such a big responsibility. I figured that by becoming a PGC leader, I was committing to a big responsibility. I didn’t only have to be responsible for myself now, but also for the freshmen; meaning that everything I do will affect them in a positive or negative way. This puts me in a position of great responsibility were I have to be more cautious with what I do, and the reputation I maintain. Having such a big responsibility really frightened me; the fact that I have the power to control how the next four years of the freshmen’s life will turn out really terrifies me. So I began to think, am I ready to take such a big responsibility? Can I handle this? I don’t know, and I guess I will never know until I accept the challenge.

Pau how great that you are taking on the challenge of becoming a leader and role model for the freshmen. Of course you should put in effort and it IS a responsibility, but I don't think you should feel so frightened because to say that you will have "the power to control their next four years" is an overstatement. I'm sure you will be able to handle it, and be a very good leader to them. I would love to see more reflection in your blog posts.
